Young readers will delight in finding the hidden elephant in the illustrations.

May 2018 - there's not much to the story, but Ben really enjoyed hunting out all the elephants on each page. The first time through I helped, and the second time he spent a lot of time lingering over each picture and spotting trunks, legs, and so on. The illustrations really make this one.

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to sit down in the children's section and read. Luckily this was a fun one to start back with. The story itself isn't anything super spectacular, but the story the pictures tell are very nice! I hoped this would be one of those books were the whole time there's an elephant near by- they're always cute to see how it's illustrated. My favorite page (picture wise) is when the kid knocks on a door in the jungle and the bird is swinging on the elephants tusks looking up like 😳😳😳😳. However, what's that house doing in the jungle I ask?!

I love how deceptive the drawings are and finding the elephant in every page.

Such a playful book with a solid character voice, pictures are fun and have elephants both with positive and negative space hidden in them which offers great art integration opportunities.
